We hear your heartfelt desire for children and lift this request before the Lord with great compassion. The longing for a family is a beautiful and God-given desire, for children are indeed a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward (Psalm 127:3). We stand with you in faith, believing that God hears your prayer and knows the deepest longings of your heart.
First, we must address the foundation of all our prayers. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we encourage you to do so, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Only then can we approach God’s throne with confidence, knowing that He hears us (Hebrews 4:16).
Now, let us pray together for your request:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister/brother who longs to be blessed with children. Lord, You are the giver of life, the One who opens and closes the womb. We ask that You would remember Your promise in Psalm 113:9, that You make the barren woman to keep house and be a joyful mother of children. Father, we pray that You would remove any obstacles, heal any brokenness, and grant the desire of this heart according to Your perfect will. May Your timing be perfect, and may Your name be glorified in this situation. We trust You, Lord, for You are faithful to Your word.
We also encourage you to seek the Lord’s will in all areas of your life, including your marriage, if you are married. If you are not yet married, we pray that God would bring a godly spouse into your life—a man or woman who loves the Lord with all their heart and is committed to raising children in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, and children are a blessing within that union (Genesis 1:28).
If there are any areas of your life that do not align with God’s word—such as sexual immorality, unforgiveness, or unconfessed sin—we encourage you to repent and turn away from those things. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Confess your sins to Him, and He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
We also rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or unbelief that may be hindering your faith. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
Continue to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting, meditate on His word, and surround yourself with godly counsel. Trust in His timing, for He makes all things beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11). We declare that your home will be filled with the laughter of children, and your heart will overflow with joy as you experience the blessing of parenthood.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26). In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
